Abstract:
The anterolateral thigh flaps allows for a large amount of vascularized skin and subcutaneous tissue for transfer as a locoregional flap or for microvascular free tissue transfer. In the settings of a large flap, primary closure of the donor site can be difficult. Multiple techniques, including the use of tissue expansion, can be used to assist with donor site closure. The DermaClose external tissue expander can be employed in such situations. We describe two cases with a unique use of the DermaClose system and postoperative complications.
